In RTL Boulevard I saw him speaking to the Austrian or German press (ijn German anyway), he is very fluent in German. One of the things he said was that more children die from lack of water than from AIDS at the moment.

True.Just think that over 1 billion people do not have access to - clean - drinkingwater,at all,and the bulk constitutes children,try to imagine,
it is an outcry really.

Today:
HRH will attend the opening of the City centre project "Mosae Forum",in dear Henri's home-town of Maastricht.

Busy schedule for HRH,Bogota,Colombia this weekend where he will attend and speech in his capacity of Chair of UNSGAB,
HRH will also attend the start of the UN Year of Sanitation 2008 at the UN-Headquarters,New York City on november 21st,
together with Princess Máxima.Het Koninklijk Huis

Today De Telegraaf publishes a long interview with Prince of Orange, mainly on watermanagement/sanitation problems.
He will sadly miss this work (which he says he could do full time) when he will become king...
Although he has become a specialist in the field he says he can't been regarded as a person in the same range as prominent people like Al Gore on the climate issue. He is a teamplayer per se and likes to co-operate with other specialists to achieve goals.

I forgot if this was discussed before, but does anybody know until when WA will be chairman of this board? Is there a fixed date settled on which he will leave or is it more 'open' like his membership of the IOC (which he will quit as soon as he is King).

And does anybody know why Princess Maxima accompanied her husband to NYC? Just as a support or has she some things to attend herself about Microfinance?

No,there is no fixed date,suppose he will remain Chair untill he's called to the Throne.

Dear Máxima hadn't seen Alex for over a week,he travelled to NYC from Colombia remember?She supports him by being there,and meanwhile had a little catching up to do with her sister & friends in Chelsea,and ofcourse see staff and others of/on the UN board for micro-credit.
